What’s in it

This bill relates to the ability of counties to regulate certain properties. The bill defines “agricultural experience”, which includes any agriculture-related activity on a farm with the purpose of promoting or educating the public about agriculture, agricultural practices, agricultural activities, or agricultural products. In order to assist in the promotion of agricultural experiences, the bill prohibits a county from requiring a conditional use permit, special use permit, special exception, or a variance for agricultural experiences on property of which the primary use is agricultural production.
